Bahrain GP Chat and Predictions

I wonder if Lewis could do a single stop?

 

well, they did all that medium testing, be a shame to waste it when it could win a race

 

Alonso just done lewis a favour and gone on Mediums. Good to see his speeds.

 

Those Williams just make me weep.

 

Looks like Merc are putting the good laps in

 

This could make for an interesting finish.

 

Bottas on Mediums very interesting end if Ferrari have to stop again which I think they do.
Even better data for Lewis as well

 

Lewis losing 1.7 sec per lap over Ferrari!!!!

 

Bottas is quick on the mediums. I think Ferrari have been outsmarted here.

 

Get Lewis in now.

 

Lewis trying to hold Vettel up.

 

No fending that off.

 

Can ferrari get to the end on these tyres???

 

Pretty sure they'd be shagged out by then. Bottas in a great spot tho.

 

Ferrari might be able to do it. Lewis did Q2 and 27 laps on softs. So ferrari could get to the end as lower fuel and no quali on softs.
Might be close at the end

 

Hamilton went long, but those tyres looked pretty dead.

You got to think another 10 laps on top of that seems like an inevitable puncture.

 

about to say the same thing, and the Ferrari tends to be better on it's tyres than Merc

 

I think if I was ferrari I would split strat so they get best chance of most points. But who to pit???? It would have to be Kimi, just in case they could get a win with Vettel.

 

Think Merc were hoping they could make Vettel burn up some of that rubber.

 

Has anyone else noticed the Ferrari customer PU seems to smoke on over run?? Almost looks like steam coming out near exhaust.
